BACKGROUND

1. Technical Field

The present disclosure generally relates to a machine tool, and particularly, to a machine tool with a lathe tool and a milling cutter.

2. Description of the Related Art

An electronic device, such as a tabletop computer or a mobile phone, employs a metallic member as a housing. The metallic member includes a top portion and a peripheral sidewall extending from a peripheral edge of the top portion. The top portion has a greater surface area than that of the peripheral sidewall. The peripheral sidewall has four side surfaces arranged in order and four corners each connecting two adjacent surfaces. In related manufacturing fields, if a milling process is employed to machine the metallic member, some tracks may occur on the top portion that has been a milled because of intermittent contact and interrupted milling of the milling cutter. Then a polishing process needs to be applied to achieve a better appearance. Thus the efficiency of the milling process is reduced. If a lathe process is adapted to machine the metallic member, it may be difficult to tool a surface which is not made for rotating. In addition, the lathe is not suitable to machine the peripheral sidewalls because of the four corners of the peripheral sidewall. Thus a number of additional machining processes must be added to machine the metallic member.

Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.

The lathe feeding mechanism 40 includes a sliding saddle 41 (see FIG. 2), a mounting seat 43, a tool holder 45, a feeding assembly 47, and a lathe tool 49. The sliding saddle 41 is assembled to the cross beams 31 and movably engages with the pair of second sliding rails 311. The second driving mechanism 37 slides along the Y-axis direction together with the lathe feeding mechanism 40 and the milling feeding mechanism 50 to drive the sliding saddle 41. The sliding saddle 41 is equipped with four guiding rails 413 extending along the Z-axis direction. The four guiding rails 413 are divided in two sets spaced from each other by two-two type. The sliding saddle 41 further includes a mounting block 415 adjacent to the base 11. The mounting block 415 is located between the two sets of guiding rails 413.

In assembly, the worktable 20 is positioned between the two support bodies 13. The cross beam 31 is installed on the two support bodies 13 via the pair of sliding bases 33. The pair of first driving mechanisms 35, and the second driving mechanism 37 are mounted on the base 11 and the cross beam 31, respectively. The lathe feeding mechanism 40 and the milling feeding mechanism 50 are mounted to the cross beam 31 side by side. The worktable 20, the moving device 30, the lathe feeding mechanism 40, and the milling feeding mechanism 50 are electrically connected to the controller 60.

FIGS. 5 and 6 show that the metallic member 300 to be machined is a housing of a tablet computer or a mobile phone. The metallic member 300 is substantially rectangular, and includes a top portion 301 and a peripheral sidewall 303 extending from a peripheral edge of the top portion 301. The top portion 301 has a non-symmetrical curved surface with a relatively greater surface area than that of the peripheral sidewall 303. In the embodiment, the peripheral sidewall 303 has four side surfaces 3031 arranged in order and adjacent two of the four side surfaces 3031 are connected by a corner 3033. The four side surfaces 3031 are substantially planar surfaces, each corner 3033 interconnects two adjacent side surfaces 3031.

When in work, the metallic member 300 is placed and held on the worktable 20. The worktable 20 drives the metallic member 300 to rotate. In the embodiment, the metallic member 300 is driven by the second rotating member 27 to rotate around the β axis. The lathe feeding mechanism 40 drives the lathe tool 49 to reciprocate the top portion 301 of the metallic member 300 at a high frequency. In detail, first, the pair of first driving mechanisms 35 drive the cross beam 31 to slide along the X-axis, and the second driving mechanism 37 drives the lathe feeding mechanism 40 to move along the Y-axis, until the lathe tool 49 arrives at an original position above the worktable 20 for machining In the embodiment, the original position is located above a middle portion of the metallic member 300. Finally, the second rotating member 27 drives the metallic member 300 to rotate around the β axis, simultaneously, the feeding assembly 47 drives the lathe tool 49 to move backwards and forwards at a high speed along the Z-axis according to the depth of cutting required for each machining portion of the top portion 301 to machine the metallic member 300 circumferentially. The moving speed of the lathe tool 49 and the rotating speed of the second rotating member 27 is set according to an application. A track of the lathe tool 49 projected to a top of the metallic member 300 is a spiral curve.

The lathe tool 49 moves away from the metallic member 300. The milling feeding mechanism 50 drives the milling cutter 57 to rotate and resist the peripheral sidewall 303 of the metallic member 300. In detail, firstly, the pair of first driving mechanisms 35 drives the cross beam 31 to slide along the X-axis, and the second driving mechanism 37 drives the lathe feeding mechanism 40 to move along the Y-axis, such that the milling cutter 57 arrives at a position above an end of one side surface 3031 of the peripheral sidewall 303. Second, the linear driving assembly 53 drives the milling cutter 57 to slide along the two sets of guiding rails 413 until the milling cutter 57 resists the peripheral sidewall 303 of the metallic member 300. Finally, the rotatable driving member 55 drives the milling cutter 57 to rotate, thereby milling the side surface 3031 and the corner 3033. The milling feeding mechanism 50 remains still, the worktable 200 rotates the metallic member 300 to enable the milling feeding mechanism 50 to mill the metallic member 300 along the predetermined path. The rotatable driving member 55 controls a feed of the milling cutter 57 relative to the metallic member 300 along the Z-axis direction. When finished, the moving device 30 returns to an original position, and the metallic member 300 is taken out. In another embodiment, the metallic member 300 is firmly fixed, the milling feeding mechanism 50 automatic mills the metallic member 300 along a predetermined path. In addition, when a particular portion of the metallic member 300 is to be machined, the rotating member 25 rotates the metallic member 30 along α axis, the second rotating member 27 rotates the metallic member 300 along the β axis, thereby positioning the metallic member 300 in a particular position for machining

The lathe feeding mechanism 40 is capable of moving backwards and forwards along the Z-axis toward the metallic member 300 at a high speed, thereby a non-interrupted machining process is achieved, the finish of the top portion 301 is enhanced, additional surface processing to the top portion is omitted. The rotatable driving member 55 is capable of driving the milling cutter 57 to rotate, thereby milling the peripheral sidewall 303. The metallic member 300 can be machined by the lathe tool 49 and the milling cutter 59 without disassembly/assembly to adapt to different machines, thereby enhancing a position accuracy, a machining efficiency and a yield of the metallic member 300. Because the moving device 30 is capable of moving the lathe feeding mechanism 40 and the milling feeding mechanism 50 along the X/Y directions, the lathe tool 49 and the milling cutter 57 can be moved along Z direction, the worktable 200 is capable of driving the metallic member 300 to rotate along the α axis and the β axis, such that the machining process is more convenient and the machining efficiency is enhanced.

The machine tool 100 may merely be employed to lathe or mill the metallic member 300. The lathe tool 49 may not only machine the top portion 301, but also machine workpiece in other shapes. The milling feeding mechanism 50 may not only mill the peripheral sidewall 303, but also mill holes or grooves on the metallic member 300. The outer surface of the metallic member 300 only needs to be machined by the milling feeding mechanism 50 to receive a finished surface.

The sliding saddle 41, the mounting seat 43, the tool holder 45 may be omitted. In other embodiments, the feeding assembly 47 may be substituted with other driving assemblies assembled to the pair of second guiding rails 311. The driving assembly is capable of directly reciprocating the lathe tool 49 along the Z direction at a high speed.

The milling feeding mechanism 50 mills the peripheral sidewall 303 of the metallic member 300 before the lathe feeding mechanism 40 machines the top portion 301. The milling feeding mechanism 50 may not be assembled to the sliding saddle 41, but could be assembled to a sliding plate (not shown) slidably mounted on the pair of second guiding rails 311, such that the lathe feeding mechanism 40 and the milling feeding mechanism 50 may be controlled independently.

The driving member 531, the screw leading rod 533, and the nut 535 may be substituted by other driving assembly, such as a linear cylinder. The linear cylinder is assembled to the pair of second guiding rails 311, the rotatable driving member 55 is mounted on an output shaft of the linear cylinder. Accordingly, the linking board 54 of the milling feeding mechanism 50 may be omitted.

In some embodiments, the worktable 20 may only include the second rotating member 27, the second rotating member 27 is assembled to the base 11, and rotates around the β axis only. The worktable 20 may be a multi-axis worktable, capable of rotating the metallic member 300 along a plurality of axis to enable a multi-workstations machining process.

FIG. 7 shows a second embodiment of machine tool 200 for machining the metallic member 300. The machine tool 200 is similar to the machine tool 100 in structure, a sliding saddle 41 a is slidably assembled to a cross beam 31 a, and a second rotating member 27 a is mounted on a rotating shaft 25 a. The metallic member 300 is placed and held on the second rotating member 27 a. The difference between the machine tool 100/200 is that, a mounting seat 43 a of the machine tool 200 is slidably mounted on the sliding saddle 41 a and capable of sliding along the Z1-axis direction relative to the sliding saddle 41 a, and a lathe tool 49 a is slidably mounted on the mounting seat 43 a.

When the lathe feeding mechanism 40 is to machine the top portion 301 of the metallic member 300, the pair of first driving mechanisms 35 drives the cross beam 31 to slide along the X-axis, and the second driving mechanism 37 drives the lathe feeding mechanism 40 to move along the Y-axis, such that the lathe tool 49 a arrives at an original position above the worktable 20 for machining Then the mounting seat 43 a drives the lathe tool 49 a to move downward along the Z1-axis to reach a preset position near the middle portion of the metallic member 300. Finally, the feeding assembly 47 drives the lathe tool 49 a to reciprocate, cutting at a high speed along the Z-axis according to the depth required for each portion of the top portion 301 machining the rotary metallic member 300 circumferentially. The mounting seat 43 a can slide along the Z1-axis to place the lathe tool 49 a at the preset position, allowing a reciprocation of the lathe tool 49 relative to the metallic member 300 to be reduced, thereby enhancing a reaction response of the lathe tool 49 a.
